The main force of 200,000 troops withdrew, and the city of Zhuozhou immediately looked extremely empty.All the trenches prepared outside the city and inside the city for the arrival of the army seemed to be very cumbersome, and the devil major general Murakami who defended the city looked at those trenches and felt awkward how to look at them.Murakami turned his head and looked at the direction where the army was going, and the bitterness in his heart instantly revealed on his face, and now he wanted to die.In fact, Xiangyue Qingji left him down, and he had already told him very clearly that he wanted to defend Zhuozhou and cover the retreat of the army.His fate was sealed, and he had to die here."
Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General, the People's Liberation Army is coming" At this moment, a subordinate came to the village panting and said with a frightened face.Murakami is a little numb at the moment, and now what bad news can be worse than the withdrawal of the main force and the order to die in Zhuozhou."
Come on, come on, what's the fuss, let's stay here, aren't we just waiting for them to come" Murakami Fanmao lay on the city with a bitter face: "Come early and come late, we are going to die anyway" Soon, a group of devil officers surrounded him, and everyone had a desperate look on their faces: "Sir, are we really going to die here" Murakami Shimao stood up straight, nodded vigorously and said: "Commander Xiangyue's order is like this, we are soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and we are the best Imperial Army soldiers."
Even if it's death, what's so terrible?"
he said generously, but his legs were already shaking.Knowing that he was going to die, it's strange if he wasn't afraid.However, in front of his subordinates, he can't show too cowardice.A group of his men looked left and right, and they could see the fear in the eyes of their companions.Although Murakami's military rank is a major general, there is now only one wing of defenders in Zhuozhou City.A wing wants to hold Zhuozhou, which is simply a fool's dream.The devils in the entire Zhuozhou City were in a panic, and the vanguard of the First Army had quickly arrived outside the city.The vanguard troops composed of the 1st and 2nd Divisions quickly attacked Zhuozhou from both sides, and the tank troops, as the troops that opened the way, took the lead in killing five kilometers outside the city.But instead of attacking immediately, it intimidated the defenders of the city from afar.Soon, the 1st and 2nd divisions were also already in the rear of the tank troops.The 1st and 2nd Divisions quickly assembled into battle formation, waiting for the final moment of attack.Soon after, the headquarters of the First Army drove to the front.Yang Fei and Ren Minjian immediately came to the military headquarters and reported the current situation in Zhuozhou to Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan."
The chief of staff, the army commander, the reconnaissance unit has been verified.After the main force of the Japanese army left, there was only one wing left of the devils in the city, but there were trenches and potholes everywhere outside the city, and the tank troops did not dare to advance rashly, for fear that the devils would bury mines," Yang Fei said.Ren Minjian immediately said: "We have sent sappers to investigate forward to see if the devils have planted mines, I believe we will get the results soon" After listening to the reports of the two, Gao Dong looked at Hu Xinghan and said with a smile: "Zhuozhou is already a turtle in an urn, and the devils in it are simply some grass mustard."
Even if they plant mines, can they still stop us from attacking?"
"Hu Xinghan, I'll give you three hours to take Zhuozhou." ”Gao Dong looked at Hu Xinghan and said with a smile: "Can you do it" The corners of Hu Xinghan's mouth pulled out a smile of extreme contempt: "Chief of Staff, you are too underestimated of the old troops you brought out with your own hands."
The combat effectiveness of our First Army, will it take three hours to deal with a small Zhuozhou" Gao Dong smiled and looked at his watch: "Don't talk big to me, the time has already begun" Hu Xinghan's eyes flashed coldly: "I will personally call you for this battle" "What about the artillery unit, what about the people in the artillery unit" Hu Xinghan yelled violently."
To" an officer immediately ran in, it was none other than the brigade commander of the artillery brigade of the 1st Army."
Concentrate your artillery and blow it all the way to me.Little Zhuozhou, I'm going to let your artillery cover the surroundings, and all the devils who blew up will roll back to the city for me" Hu Xinghan shouted at the top of his voice: "Go immediately" "Yes" The artillery brigade commander saluted and turned around and left."
Yang Fei, your division commander has been dismissed, and now I am the commander of the Sharp Knife Division" Hu Xinghan rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "I haven't fought for a long time, today in Zhuozhou, I, Hu Xinghan, have made a decision" Ten minutes later, more than 400 artillery pieces of the First Army fired at Zhuozhou.Thousands of shells of various calibers fell fiercely on Zhuozhou City, and the artillery fire immediately dispersed in all directions of Zhuozhou.Almost at the same moment as the cannon fired, the devils outside the city immediately abandoned their positions and fled for their lives inside the city like lost dogs.There was less than a brigade of troops guarding outside the city, and the devils knew very well that even if they resisted with all their might, it would not be enough for the PLA to plug their teeth.It was quite unsafe outside the city, and only going into the city could they feel a little safe.But when the devils entered the city, they found that the city was not very safe.The ground shook violently by the shelling, and many thatched huts collapsed without even being bombed.The narrow streets are full of devils running for their lives, looking for shelter from the shelling.Murakami had already come down from the city, and he didn't even dare to approach the city wall, so he ran towards the city with his guards."
Sir, we have too few men.If the People's Liberation Army bombards the city, we won't be able to resist it at all" As soon as we ran to a bunker, an officer yelled in the lush ears of the village."
Then what should I do, do you surrender before you fight, we are the Great Japanese Imperial Army," Murakami roared angrily."
But the People's Liberation Army is killing our imperial army, if we don't surrender, their artillery won't recognize who we are" The officer did not back down, but viciously confronted.Murakami was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he noticed that the eyes of his subordinates around him had changed.They were like wolves and tigers, with ferocity flashing in their eyes, as if they had turned into man-eating beasts.And this ferocity is not directed at the PLA, on the contrary, it is radiated from him, the top boss.Murakami was shocked, and if this was not good, he would mutini immediately.In the face of life and death, a person who can continue to follow the spirit of bushido to die is simply a fool."
Xiangyue Qingji has abandoned us and used us as cannon fodder, why should we stay here" "Yes, sir, it's better to surrender."
It is much better to surrender on your own initiative than to be captured, and the PLA will treat us preferentially" Listening to your subordinates, every word was full of threats, and Murakami swallowed his saliva fiercely.Looking at this posture, he just wants to stay here, and no one will follow him.Before the People's Liberation Army could fight, the shock of artillery fire alone made his men have no courage to beat them.Murakami's heart immediately wavered, he never thought of dying here."
The People's Liberation Army is attacking the city, and they are coming" At this moment, a frightened shout of soldiers suddenly came from the side of the city.This cry was immediately spread throughout the city, and all the devils were nervously holding their guns and looking in the direction outside the city.Now there is only an insignificant gate blocking the People's Liberation Army from entering the city, but no devil will count on that thing.The PLA tanks may wait a while to knock a hole in the earthen city wall and come in, and who can be stopped by a broken door."
Surrender, surrender immediately, surrender immediately gather troops, let's go surrender" Murakami no longer hesitated, he felt that the eyes of his men were almost about to kill him.And he also agreed with his subordinates that surrendering voluntarily and being captured are two different things.He didn't want to spend the rest of his life working as a coolie in a coolie camp, and if he didn't surrender now, I'm afraid it would be too late.Hearing of the surrender, Murakami's subordinates immediately rejoiced, running around to gather troops, as happy as his wife gave birth to a son.Soon, the city's army was assembled.Listening to the deafening shouts of killing outside the city, Murakami Fanmao did not hesitate and shouted to his subordinates: "Open the city gate, go out and surrender" When the city gate was opened, the People's Liberation Army outside the city was launching a general attack on Zhuozhou.Hu Xinghan personally led the 1st Division, with the cooperation of the tank troops, and rushed towards Zhuozhou City."
Commander, look, all the devils are out of the city" Yang Fei, who was running wildly, suddenly pointed ahead and yelled at Hu Xinghan.Hu Xinghan snorted coldly: "Do you want to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, you are dying, and you still want to resist to the end" "They don't seem to be here for a decisive battle" Yang Fei looked at it for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "They knelt down, look really kneeling" The attacking troops all stopped at once, and at this moment they were less than eight hundred meters away from Zhuozhou, and everyone was stunned to watch the devils walk out of Zhuozhou City in batches, and then knelt on the ground one by one.They raised their hands and threw their guns in front of them, and that posture was nothing but surrender."
Damn" Hu Xinghan scolded angrily: "Are the devils like this now, they surrendered directly without even fighting, aren't they called the Imperial Army, what kind of bullshit is this Imperial Army" Yang Fei touched his head and laughed: "Commander, isn't this a good thing, we didn't even use an hour, and we took Zhuozhou, but it was two hours ahead of the time given by the chief of staff" Hu Xinghan snorted coldly: "You know a fart, can it be the same thing for the devil to surrender himself and we defeat Zhuozhou, you are happy to be a fart, I really think it is your merit."
"That's why the little devil was afraid of us, so he surrendered," Yang Fei laughed evilly.Hu Xinghan looked at the devils kneeling in front of the city gate hatefully, and shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at, why don't you go and collect the damn little devils who are captive, the old man who is hurting is about to die, my mother is so angry, I surrender without fighting, I am ashamed of them" said, Hu Xinghan walked towards Zhuozhou City with his head sullen.Yang Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, this old chief, this fiery temper has not changed at all.aa2705221:
